Who remembers Hue&Cry?

[LHDisbest]

The reason i ask is that i'm off to see them on Friday night, playing at the Picture House in Edinburgh and, frankly, i'm giddy with excitement.

Now i'm a massive Hue&Cry fan, one of the forgotten bands of the 80's.

Anyone else a fan?

Remember them but I think they need to be brought straight back down to earth.

Seriously, they were OK but nothing special.

[Albert Bridge]

I liked Looking for Linda - at least I think that's what it was called...

[Mystic Slippers]

Pretty sure one of them is a pistonheads member

found him

In the car I've got a CD with Labour of Love followed by Taj Mahal's Six days on the road then a different Blues n Trouble track then back to Labour of Love, Taj...etc etc.

3am, empty road,, volume and bass at 11....perfection.

Brilliant band. I hope (and am sure) you'll have a great night.
I think I may be a tiny bit envious.

They're touring down south too. Their new album is great.

Just booked Shepherds Bush on 7th March.
I think I may love you.(Definitely love the car).

Were.

The two jazz albums they did under Linn are great, but a shift away from 'Labour of Love'

[missdiane]

I remember them, they were very good

Went to see U2 in 1987,my first ever gig during the Joshua tree tour at the S.E.C.C in Glasgow.Hue and Cry were the supporting act,they sounded fantastic!

That was a great track! I've always loved that one.

Edit: Oh dear. It's dated a bit though. Sometimes memories are best left as such.

Oops! You're spot on.

Last time I try to be clever. I was a DJ back then and played their stuff quite a lot so you'd think I could get it right
